The Marine and Coastal Access Bill provides for a new system of marine planning that will be a key tool in helping the UK Government deliver its vision for the Marine Environment.

Focussing on the coastal zone, this paper will outline how the Bill intends to improve planning and management upon the coastal zone, to deliver a range of benefits and resolve many of the current difficulties with marine decision-making notably success will be informed by marine spatial data.
